Yeah next time she was going to wake up at the right time and you know not wake up her little kids and her husband in the process of trying to leave the home. She took sip of her black coffee before sitting down. They hadn't been talking when she entered, had they stopped for a random reason? Hearing a person she looked over to the person he had spoken to...Maybe she was the reason no one was talking. Quote:

He thought that the answer would be kind of obvious since he'd been talking about how certain information would help with the prosecution of the case. Then again the guy did look half-asleep and in MLE, and within his other experiences at the ministry, he'd learnt that you shouldn't just assume things, maybe that was what Rodrigo was doing.
"I work for the Wizengamot as one of the prosecutors," he replied with a smile. "I'm also the liaison for level two," he informed him, quieting when he noticed a woman looking over at him. He didn't know who she was, and was therefore assuming that she was new, but he shot her a smile nonetheless.
"Don't worry too much, we were just discussing the case when Roxanne came in and needed to speak to Wes, I'm sure he won't mind too much," he told her, giving her a polite smile. Quote:

He looked for the photos of the locket and the photograph next, and Wes mentioned going through her book shop and hidden potions lab. Wait a second... Aubrie? As in THAT Aubrie Hampson? Oh good, Vic was starting to recognize his fellow employees. And he needed parchment. And quills. And lots of time to write down some notes, this case was somewhat complicated.
"Mr. Ferguson said the witch confessed stealing time, didn't he? That tells me she's not a sneaky criminal doing it because she must. She has no guilt over what she'd done, she's a..." psychopath. "... sane criminal." Which makes her and her lawyer tricky. He stared at his companions, offering a nod to the new woman walking in. "That's.. interesting, don't you think?" He leaned back in his chair and crossed is arms, "I need to read the details about her capture. Maybe even look at the evidences kept in our vaults." Just to feel more into this case. "I agree wholeheartedly on one thing though; It looks like we are ready to go to court." SMIRK. Quote:

"Okay, where were we?" Wes was pleased to see that Emma had slipped in while he'd been outside. "We have a good case here, yeah? You all agree?" Prosecutors? Rodrigo nodded as Skander explained his position in the MLE. He had figured that the young man had worked for the Wizengamot, based on his inquiries earlier. But one of the few things the Spaniard had learned in the Ministry before he unexpectedly left was to not assume. He was glad that Skander appeared to think the same way. "How guay, er, I mean. . . cool," the Spaniard chuckled. Sometimes his native tongue slipped out. But before he could continue the conversation, a woman walked in, clutching a cup of coffee and apologizing for being late. He nodded, wearing a warm smile as Skander explained what was going on.
And speak of the devil, Wes came back in at that moment. Rodrigo drained the last of his espresso and was satisfied that the caffeine was finally kicking in. He nodded to Wes before he placed the cup on a nearby table and turned to rummage through his bag. He retrieved a roll of parchment and a replenishing-ink quill and began scribbling some personal notes on the de Talone case. "Well, who do we have to testify against de Talone?" he asked, for he wasn't sure if his question from before Wes' chat with Roxanne was answered sufficiently. "I mean, the evidence clearly does go in our favor. And she's confessed to it. But having witness testimonies, especially a couple of the eighteen or twenty so victims would make our chances of winning that much more solid." He shrugged, hoping his input was good. He was just a stenographer, after all. |
